About
Laurie Ellinghausen here analyzes how the concept of labor as a calling, which was assisted by early modern experiments in democracy, print, and Protestant religion, had a lasting effect on the history of authorship as a profession. Among the authors discussed are Ben Jonson; the maidservant and poet Isabella Whitney; the journalist and satirist Thomas Nashe; the boatman John Taylor "The Water Poet"; and the Puritan radical George Wither.
